FAQs
Delhi: What Visa do I need for India? Most travellers (everyone other than citizens of Nepal & Bhutan) need to get a 30-day e-visa when travelling to India. You can apply through the Government of India’s official website. Check out our visa guide for more info.Don’t forget - you’ll need this Ground Handler information when you apply for the e-visa: Travel Scope India Office No. 215, Qutab Plaza, Ashoka Crescent Marg, DLF Phase 1, Sector 26, Gurugram, Haryana 122002, India Phone: +91 124 499 9499
Delhi: What are the luggage restrictions for India? You can bring one bag or suitcase of 73cm x 50cm x 25cm (29”x 20”x 10”), with a max weight of 15kg (33lbs). Plus one piece of hand luggage suitable as a carry-on for flights. It might be a lower-than-normal weight allowance. But that’s the luggage limit for domestic flights. So remember to save some space for all that shopping!Got some overweight baggage? Don’t worry. You might be able to pay in cash for the extra weight. But you won’t be able to upgrade the luggage allowance before the start of the trip.
Delhi: Can I book Ranthambore National Park during the trip or should I make a pre-booking? We recommend that you book tickets for the Ranthambhore National Park safari before your departure. Tickets for the National Park are limited (and you don’t wanna miss the chance to spot the majestic Bengal tiger). All you need to do is contact your Trip Manager with your passport details to reserve a ticket.
Delhi: How do I make my way from Delhi Airport to the starting point? It’s simpler than you think! Once you exit the airport, look for the ‘Pre-Paid Taxi’ stall (with a yellow-sign). These taxis are run by the Delhi Police, and are very reliable. All you need to do is approach the counter and tell them you wanna go to ‘Green Park’ (that’s where our hotel is located, close to the metro station).
Delhi: What currency do I need to visit India? The currency used in India is the Indian Rupee (₹). Don’t forget to keep some cash in hand. But in case you forget, you’ll find ATMs readily accessible in cities.

Delhi: Here’s your chance to tick the Raj Ghat, Sikh Temple and a rickshaw ride off your to-do list. All in one day.
Agra: This majestic building is one of India’s star attractions. And it feels like you’ve stepped onto a Bollywood film set.
Agra: This one needs no introduction. Epic in the pictures. Out-of-this-world IRL.
Jaipur: Rose-tinted buildings. Extravagant décor. Bustling bazaars. Don’t forget to snap that bang-on pic of the swanky City Palace.
Udaipur: Tour India’s most romantic city – famous for its lavish buildings and serene lakes. Don’t forget your camera.
Mumbai: Can your imagination handle it? From India Gate to Chhatrapati Shivaji. No other city on Earth has this many sights and flavours.

Wild animals and an epic sunrise before breakfast, with Jaipur next on the agenda? Pretty perfect, right? On arrival to Jaipur, head straight into town to discover the traditional craftsmanship of high quality Rajasthani rugs, using age-old local techniques unique to the Pink City.

Jaipur to Udaipur
Jaipur you’ve been glorious, but the lush green hills and lavish marble palaces of Udaipur are calling us today as we jump on the coach for a full day of cross country travelling.

Udaipur to Mumbai
With some free time in Udaipur this morning, you'll have a chance to say your goodbyes to the land of lakes. This afternoon, we’ve got a plane to catch and a certain Bollywood beauty to crack open. Mumbai, we're coming. Mumbai is a sensory overload where workers, artists, celebrities, servants and fishermen all walk the same walk. This afternoon, you'll have a chance to experience the city with an optional Khau Gully Food Tour, which celebrates the seismic street food of Mumbai.
Mumbai
Wanna see Mumbai differently? Rise with the locals for our optional ‘Mumbai at Dawn’ tour, where we’ll watch the city as it starts its day.

End Goa
Even the biggest and best adventures have to end at some point, and this morning sees the finale of ours. After a final breakfast together it’s time for the long (and possibly teary) goodbye. Sure you’ll be sad, but remembering all of the massive moments and seemly insignificant giggles in-between will see you smiling your whole journey home.
